Answer:

20, 24

Step-by-step explanation:

smaller: x

larger: 2x - 16

x + 2x - 16 = 44

3x -16 = 44

3x = 60

x = 20

smaller: x = 20

larger: 2x - 16 = 2(20) - 16 = 24

Write the rational number as a decimal. Show your work. 5/9 -3/8 -3/11.

Bad White [126]

I have memorized facts about fractions like these, so can tell you ...

$\dfrac{5}{9}=0.5\overline{5}\\\\-\dfrac{3}{8}=-3\times 0.125=-0.375\\\\-\dfrac{3}{11}=-0.27\overline{27}$

_____

A fraction with 9 as a denominator is a repeating 1-digit decimal with the decimal digit being the numerator of the fraction.

A fraction with 11 as a denominator is a repeating 2-digit decimal with the two digits being 9 times the numerator of the fraction.

1/8 = 0.125, so any multiple of 1/8 is that multiple of 0.125.
